Razor jackknives have always been one of my favorite patterns, but we don't see much about them in this forum. Well, I'm outing myself-- I'm a closet razor jacker! :eek: :D

Most of them have a very useful set of blades, with one pretty straight-edged and one with more belly and a nice point (usually a clip). They're easy to put an edge on, and a nice conversation piece as well. Here is my meager collection.

Top row, left to right: Case red stag jack, plus two Seki-made in 2nd cut stag, a trapper and a saddlehorn.
Bottom row are three Rough Rider trappers: sawcut brown bone, amber bone, and tortoise.

Come on, I showed you mine, now let's see yours! ;)
 
Ya gotta stop buyin them knives with busted tips.:foot:

I have not collected them. If I got one, I bet I would like it, and then I would have to buy more of them.:D

Those are great pic's. What is so great about this hobby, there are so many different patterns. Thanks for posting those, they look great.:thumbup:
 
Here is an odd one for ya....

Made by Bear MGC. Now I'm not much of a fan of Bear MGC / Bear & Sons knives. They are way to hit or miss for me....but....this knife is very well done. F&F is excellent. Handle material is mastodon ivory the blades are coated with Ti/Ni.

About 100 of these were made for Smoky Mountain Knife Works.

Good grief I sure regret trading this one away to Mr. Morrow. It IS a good knife. But boy I opened up a finger with that razor blade once. Bled like hell on wheels. :eek:
 
Do you mean a One Armed Trapper??

You know it is a funny thing. Of all the knives I have....if anyone is browsing through my "accumulation," they always pick this knife up. I don't know why...but they do.
 
Nice looking faux Tortoise scales on that one black mamba.

Is it true that the original purpose of this pattern was for one armed openers?? Or was it some kind of mini field razor??
 
One armed opening. You just snag the recess of the tip on the lip of your pocket--sort of like a non-tactical wave feature. :p
 
Some great looking folders here gents:thumbup:
might have to try 1, 1 day.
Thanks for sharing.
